Brian Huen Ainsworth Lumber Co. Ltd. ANS-T PARTIAL SELL Jun 26, 2013

Came back from the dead with the rebound of the US housing market. They are also a seller to Japan. They have a hefty debt load, however. They are cyclical and you missed a large part of the move.

Chart shows a great picture of higher highs and higher lows. Fairly volatile stock, but volatility on an up trending stock like this, provides opportunity rather than problems. For a new entry, it is actually in a great position right now.

Someone told him that the lumber stocks do go down in June, and of course it has. The reason they go down is because the signal that was out there on housing in the US and companies stocked up early. You now have to wait for them to restock.

Was one of his positions and he didn’t do that well. Exited last piece today. Putting a new plant in Grand Prairie so they can expand. Once he gets back into this sector this would be one of his top two picks.

Likes it here. Likes that they don’t pay a dividend. You don’t have to worry about a distribution cut. They will survive. Could be acquired by Norboard who owns a chunk. Thinks it is worth a lot more than where it is trading.

Eastern Canadian lumber stock. Will continue to be a major beneficiary of the housing market in the US but won’t quite have the export capability to China and other markets that the West coast guys have.

He chose to sell this morning. Is looking at other names in the sector. Hold it but be ready to take the profits.

(A Top Pick April 16/13. Down 4.31%.) Sold his holdings when there was a takeover offer.

(A Top Pick June 14/13. Down 27.2%.) A deal to be bought by Louisiana-Pacific (LPX-N) fell apart over regulatory concerns. Sold his holdings when the deal was first announced so he got out at $3.98. Still feels it represents very good value here.
